Seperating an AnsiString by a space

I've got a String that's seperated in teh middle by a space. (i.e., It's a First and Last name in a combo box) I've got to split the first name in one string and the last name in another.
I swear, I used to know how to do this, but I'm rusty. Somebody that knows how to do this please help, it's worth a star!

Thanks much,
-M

Off the top of my head:

CODE

AnsiString NameStr = "James Cottingham";
int SpacePlaceInt = NameStr.Pos(" ");// Should be 6

Of course, you may want to make certain that you don't have spaces on the front or the end, too. Or you might want to check for multiple spaces if, for example, they put in their middle initial.

Wait, I'm still slightly confused. I wanted "James" and "Cottingham" in two seperate Strings? I still don't know how to get the names with what you gave me??

CODE

AnsiString NameStr = "James Cottingham";
int StrLenInt = NameStr.Length();
int SpacePlaceInt = NameStr.Pos(" ");
AnsiString FirstNameStr = NameStr.SubString(1, SpacePlaceInt - 1); //AnsiStrings always start with 1 and not 0
AnsiString LastNameStr = NameStr.SubString(SpacePlaceInt + 1, StrLenInt);

Play with it a little as I'm doing this from memory.
